The game already has an Easy and a Hard Badge, Why not somewhere in between?

Easy – 100m
Medium -[To be added, around 250m]
Hard – 350m

What do you guys think? The Easy badge is easy to win, but the hard is pretty hard.

I was thinking more like an impossible badge for either 750, or 1000m…but ideally, it would have an impossible instead of a hard badge, not as well as. I do think that reaching that sort of height requires a sort of deeper understanding of how the game works, whereas the current hard badge you can just get by jumping and praying.

Agreed, though 750 or 1,000 seems a little much. Speaking as someone with 764, 600 seems more like it.

Of the 3 speedrun impossibles there are, not one is on a platformer. Platformer speedruns are, in my opinion, the best speedruns. It’s about time one finally gets put on. The times are difficult to get, but certainly not extreme; as I’m typing this, my world times are 128.74, 135.1, and 221.92 respectively. The best times I know of allow for times as low as 126.05, 126.9, and 216.49.

Also, the names kind of suck, so suggestions there would be appreciated. :3

Skullface is what meatboy wishes it was, but never could be. I feel like the game is superior to meatboy in nearly every way. I don’t know about the times you chose, but it certainly deserves badges of some form or another.

Completing world 1 would be harder than most easy badges, but isn’t sufficiently difficult for a medium. Game completion runs into the same problem; it kind of falls into that grey area between medium and hard. I feel a speedrun-based badge is definitely warranted here: that kind of optimization is at the very “heart” of SkullFace’s gameplay.

The annoying thing about speedrunning this game is the start of each level…you have to time any levels with a jump at the beginning just perfect, or you’ll lose a couple of precious hundredths of a second, which adds up. Reminds me of the Pyro imp.

Oh look, ‘Before the Level Knows You’re Dead’ that Prec DIDN’T get used in UA3. There it fitted, but I just don’t see the connection with this badge name and the game.

Hey, I’ll have you know I also used that name for a possible Quietus badge! Anyway, the logic here is that the main character is a skeleton (so, arguably not alive) who’s missing his heart. It would probably be in his best interest to finish the levels quickly; there’s usually a time limit with this sort of thing.

Vector Runner Remix is now on Kong. It seems like a pretty good candidate for badges. I’m not really sure what would be some good suggestions, however. Maybe an easy for going through the first set of Turbulence and a medium for finishing the track. There could be a hard for a high score, but as of now, I’m completely unsure as to what it could be, maybe 12.5k-ish?

Medium for finishing the track, hard for 12.5? No way. One of those jumps is quite hard, and my best is 11,745 without even making it. Your easy sounds good, but I’d say a better medium would be 6k unharmed and a better hard would be for game completion, maybe with a score requirement on the side.

Revenge of the Jocks Badge (hard ~ 30 points)
Earn a gold medal on all six challenges.
[ ] 6 gold medals – you will need to achieve a distance of at least 350,000 yards to unlock every challenge (best so far: )

Forgive the probable double post, but with the Apocalypse, um, Nao upon us, I’m going to go back through some of my older suggestions. This is long, so I’ll probably break it into several posts to make formatting easier.

EDIT: Next post deleted. I’ll post it again tomorrow or something, but three long posts in a row would have been too much.

Templar Exemplar Badge (impossible ~ 60 points)
Complete the game without being hit, in under 500 moves, and while only drilling groups of three blocks or larger.
[ ] Sir Dodgealot the Swift achievement earned
[ ] Grandmaster Flash achievement earned
[ ] Knightfall the First achievement earned – you do not have to earn all three achievements in the same game. In fact, it’s probably not possible to earn all three at the same time. (best so far: )
